2.2Issuance of Shares. The Performance Units covered by this Agreement and these terms and conditions shall only result in the issuance of Shares (or cash or a combination of Shares and cash, as decided by the Committee in its sole discretion), to the extent such Performance Units have become Performance Units Earned, as provided in Section 2.3, on the date the Performance Units Earned are to be paid as specified in Section 2.4.

2.3Performance Units Earned.

(a)Achievement of Company Performance Objective(s). Subject to Sections 2.3(b), 2.3(c), and 2.3(d), the number of Performance Units Earned, if any, shall be based upon the degree of achievement of the Milestone(s), all as more particularly set forth in Exhibit A, with actual Performance Units Earned interpolated between the performance levels shown on Exhibit A, as determined and certified by the Committee.

Date of Grant: XXXX

The percentage level of achievement determined for the Company Performance Objective(s) shall be multiplied by the target number of Performance Units to determine the actual number of Performance Units Earned, rounded down to the nearest whole Performance Unit. The calculation as to whether the Company has met or exceeded the Milestone(s) shall be determined and certified by the Committee in accordance with the Award and these terms and conditions. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary, in no event shall any Performance Units become Performance Units Earned with respect to achievement by the Company in excess of the allowable maximum as established under the Milestone(s), and except as provided in Sections 2.3(b), 2.3(c), and 2.3(d), no Performance Units will become Performance Units Earned unless the Participant remains in the continuous employment of the Company or Subsidiary during the entire Performance Period.

(b)Death or Disability. If the Participant experiences a termination of employment because of the Participant’s death or Disability during the Performance Period, 100% of the Performance Units shall become Performance Units Earned at target upon such termination, regardless of the actual degree of achievement otherwise calculated in accordance with Section 2.3(a).

(c)Termination without Cause. If, during the Performance Period, the Participant’s employment is terminated without Cause, then, within thirty (30) days of the Participant signing and not revoking a general release in a form acceptable to the Company (a “Release”), if a Milestone has been attained, Participant will receive a number of Shares equal to the number of Shares that the Performance Units would have converted into at the end of the Performance Period had Participant’s employment continued until the end of the Performance Period.

(d)Change in Control. In the event of a Change in Control (as defined in Section 2.5) during the Performance Period, the Participant’s Performance Units will become Performance Units Earned only to the extent provided in Section 2.5.

In the event the Participant otherwise terminates employment prior to becoming entitled to Performance Units Earned or the Participant’s employment is terminated by the Company for Cause, the Participant shall forfeit all rights to any Performance Units that were granted under the Agreement.

2.4Settlement of Performance Units Earned.

(a)Settlement After Performance Period. The Performance Units Earned shall be settled and paid in the form of Shares after the end of the Performance Period and after the determination and certification by the Committee of the level of attainment of the Milestone(s), but in any event no later than 2-½ months after the end of the Performance Period to the extent not previously paid to the Participant.

(b)Change in Control. Notwithstanding Section 2.4(a), to the extent there are any Performance Units Earned as of a Change in Control, such Performance Units

Date of Grant: XXXX

Earned will be settled and paid within ten (10) days of the Change in Control; provided, however, that if such Change in Control would not qualify as a permissible date of distribution under Section 409A(a)(2)(A) of the Code, and the regulations thereunder, and where Section 409A of the Code applies to such distribution, payment will be made on the date that would have otherwise applied pursuant to this Section 2.4.

(c)Payment Following a Change in Control. Notwithstanding Section 2.4(a), if, during the two-year period following a Change in Control, the Participant experiences a termination of employment by the Company without Cause or as a result of Participant’s resignation for Good Reason, the Performance Units Earned as of the date of such termination of employment shall be settled and paid within ten (10) days of the termination of employment to the extent they have not been previously paid to the Participant; provided, however, that if such Change in Control would not qualify as a permissible date of distribution under Section 409A(a)(2)(A) of the Code, and the regulations thereunder, and where Section 409A of the Code applies to such distribution, payment will be made on the date that would have otherwise applied pursuant to this Section 2.4. Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, to the extent payment is due within ten (10) days of the termination of employment, if the Participant on the date of termination of employment is a “specified employee” (within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code determined using the identification methodology selected by the Company from time to time) and the payment is subject to Section 409A of the Code, payment for the Performance Units Earned will be made on the first payroll date that occurs after the date that is six months following the Participant’s termination of employment or, if earlier, the date of the Participant’s death.

(d)General. The Committee, in its sole discretion, may settle the Performance Units Earned in cash or a combination of Shares and cash, in lieu of issuing only Shares. In the event that all or any portion of the Performance Units Earned are paid in cash, the cash equivalent of one Performance Unit Earned shall be equal to the VWAP of one Share on the last trading day of the Performance Period or, if earlier, the trading day immediately prior to the payment date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Performance Units granted hereunder may be paid in cash in lieu of Shares to any Participant who is subject to the Share Ownership Guidelines unless and until such Participant is either in compliance with, or no longer subject to, such Share Ownership Guidelines; provided, however, that the Committee may withhold Shares to the extent necessary to satisfy income tax, social insurance, payroll tax, fringe benefits tax, payment on account or other tax-related item withholding requirements, as described in Section 5.3. In addition, the Committee may restrict fifty percent (50%) of the Shares to be issued in satisfaction of the total Performance Units Earned, before income tax withholding,so that they cannot be sold by Participant unless immediately after such sale the Participant is in compliance with the Share Ownership Guidelines that are applicable to the Participant at the time of sale. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Participant must hold not less than twenty-five percent (25%) of the Shares issued in settlement of Performance Units Earned (“Held Shares”) for a period of one (1) year following delivery of such Shares, during which time Participant shall not sell, transfer, pledge, assign or otherwise alienate or hypothecate such Held Shares.

Date of Grant: XXXX

(e)Payments After Death. Any settlement of Performance Units Earned to a deceased Participant shall be paid to the estate of the Participant, unless the Participant files a completed Designation of Death Beneficiary with the Company in accordance with its procedures.

(f)Payment Obligation. Prior to payment, the Company shall only have an unfunded and unsecured obligation to make payment of Performance Units Earned to the Participant. The Performance Units covered by this Agreement that have not yet been earned as Performance Units Earned, and any interests of the Participant with respect thereto, are not transferable other than pursuant to the laws of descent and distribution, or in accordance with Section 2.4(e).

2.5Change in Control Vesting.

(a)If the Participant remains in the continuous employ of the Company or Subsidiary throughout the period beginning on August 7, 2014 and ending on the date of the Change in Control, upon the Change in Control, a number of the Performance Units equal to the greater of the target number of Performance Units and, if a Milestone is attained on or prior to the Change in Control, the number of Performance Units based upon the degree of the achievement of the Milestone shall become Performance Units Earned, except to the extent that an award meeting the requirements of Section 2.5(e) (a “Replacement Award”) is provided to the Participant in accordance with Section 2.5(e) to replace, adjust, or continue the Award of Performance Units covered by this Agreement (the “Replaced Award”). If a Replacement Award is provided, references to Performance Units in this Agreement shall be deemed to refer to the Replacement Award after the Change in Control.

(b)If, upon or after receiving a Replacement Award, the Participant experiences a termination of employment with the Company or Subsidiary of the Company (or any of their successors) (as applicable, the “Successor”) by reason of the Participant terminating employment for Good Reason or the Successor terminating Participant’s employment other than for Cause within a period of two years after the Change in Control and during the Incentive Period, 100% of the Replacement Award will become earned and nonforfeitable upon such termination.

(c)If a Replacement Award is provided, notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, any outstanding Performance Units that at the time of the Change in Control are not subject to a “substantial risk of forfeiture” (within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code) will be deemed to be Performance Units Earned at the time of such Change in Control and will be paid as provided for in Section 2.4(b).

(ii)individuals who, as of XXXX, constitute the Board of Directors (the “Incumbent Board”) cease for any reason to constitute at least a majority of the Board of Directors; provided, however, that any individual becoming a director subsequent to XXXX whose election, or nomination for election by the Shareholders, was approved by a vote of at least a majority of the directors then comprising the Incumbent Board shall be considered as though such individual was a member of the Incumbent Board;

(iii)consummation of a reorganization, merger, statutory share exchange or consolidation or similar transaction involving the Company or any of its subsidiaries, a sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, or the acquisition of assets or securities of another entity by the Company or any of its subsidiaries (each, a “Business Combination”), in each case unless, following such Business Combination, (A) all or substantially all of the individuals and entities that were the beneficial owners of the Outstanding Company Common Stock and the Outstanding Company Voting Securities immediately prior to such Business Combination beneficially own, directly or indirectly, more than 50% of the then-outstanding shares of common stock (or, for a non-corporate entity, equivalent securities) and the combined voting power of the then-outstanding voting securities entitled to vote generally in the election of directors (or, for a non-corporate entity, equivalent governing body), as the case may be, of the entity resulting from such Business Combination (including, without limitation, an entity that, as a result of such transaction, owns the Company or all or substantially all of the Company’s assets either directly or through one or more subsidiaries) in substantially the same proportions as their ownership immediately prior to such Business Combination of the Outstanding Company Common Stock and the Outstanding Company Voting Securities, as the case may be, and (B) at least a majority of the members of the board of directors (or, for a non-corporate entity, equivalent governing body) of the entity resulting from such Business Combination were members of the Incumbent Board at the time of the execution of the initial agreement or of the action of the Board of Directors providing for such Business Combination; or

(iv)approval by the Shareholders of a complete liquidation or dissolution of the Company.

(e)For purposes of this Agreement, a “Replacement Award” means an award (i) of the same type (e.g., performance units) as the Replaced Award, (ii) that has a value at least equal to the value of the Replaced Award, (iii) that relates to publicly traded equity securities of the Company or its successor in the Change in Control or another entity

ARTICLE 5.

General Provisions

5.1Compliance with Law. The Company shall make reasonable efforts to comply with all applicable federal and state securities laws; provided, however, notwithstanding any other provision of the Agreement and these terms and conditions, the Company shall not be obligated to issue any Shares pursuant to the Agreement and these terms and conditions if the issuance or payment thereof would result in a violation of any such law; providedfurther, however, that the Shares will be issued at the earliest date at which the Company reasonably anticipates that the issuance of the Shares will not cause such violation.

5.2Dividend Equivalents. During the period beginning on the Date of Grant and ending on the date that Performance Units Earned are paid in accordance with Section 2.4, the Participant will be entitled to dividend equivalents on Performance Units Earned equal to the cash dividend or distribution that would have been paid on the Performance Units Earned had the Performance Units Earned been issued and outstanding Shares on the record date for the dividend or distribution; if dividends are paid in the form of Shares

Date of Grant: XXXX

or Performance Units rather than cash, the Participant will not receive as dividends such Shares or additional Performance Units, but will instead be credited with the amount of cash that would have been paid on account of the Performance Units if they had been Shares. Such accrued dividend equivalents (a) will be adjusted to reflect the actual number of Shares resulting from the conversion of Performance Units Earned after the determination and certification by the Committee of the level of attainment of Milestones and become payable upon the same terms and at the same time of settlement as the Performance Units to which they relate, and (b) will be denominated and payable solely in cash no earlier than the time the Performance Units Earned are paid pursuant to Section 2.4 (but in no event later than two and one-half (2½) months after the end of the Performance Period, unless the date of payment is deferred by Participant pursuant to, and in compliance with, the terms of the Company’s Voluntary Deferred Compensation Plan).

5.3Withholding Taxes. The provisions of Article 18.3 of the Plan shall apply to the extent that the Company or Subsidiary is required to withhold income tax, social insurance, payroll tax, fringe benefits tax, payment on account or other tax-related items related to Participant’s participation in the Plan in connection with the Participant’s Performance Units (or dividend equivalents, if any), unless as otherwise specified in the Appendix to this Agreement, including, without limitation, any tax liability associated with the grant or vesting of the Performance Units or sale of the underlying Shares (the “Tax Liability”). These requirements may change from time to time as laws or interpretations change. Regardless of the Company or Subsidiaries' actions in this regard, the Participant hereby acknowledges and agrees that the Tax Liability shall be the Participant’s sole responsibility and liability. The Participant acknowledges that the Company’s obligation to issue or deliver Shares or pay cash shall be subject to satisfaction of the Tax Liability. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee, withholding obligations shall be satisfied by having the Company or one if its Subsidiaries withhold all or a portion of any Shares that otherwise would be issued or cash payable to the Participant upon settlement of the vested Performance Units; provided that amounts withheld shall not exceed the amount necessary to satisfy the Company’s tax withholding obligations. Such withheld Shares shall be valued based on the VWAP of a Share as of the date the withholding obligations are satisfied. The Company or one of its Subsidiaries may also satisfy the Tax Liability by deduction from the Participant’s wages or other cash compensation paid to the Participant. If the Company does not elect to have withholding obligations satisfied by either withholding Shares, from the cash payable, or by deduction from the Participant's wages or other compensation paid to the Participant, the Participant agrees to pay the Company or Subsidiary the amount of the Tax Liability in cash (or by check) as directed by the Company or Subsidiary.

5.4Continuous Employment.

5.6These Terms and Conditions Subject to Plan. The Performance Units covered under the Agreement and all of the terms and conditions hereof are subject to all of the terms and conditions of the Plan, a copy of which is available upon request.

5.7Transferability. Except as otherwise provided in the Plan, the Performance Units are non-transferable and any attempts to assign, pledge, hypothecate or otherwise alienate or encumber (whether by law or otherwise) any Performance Units shall be null and void.

5.8Data Privacy. Participant hereby explicitly and unambiguously consents to the collection, use and transfer, in electronic or other form, of Participant’s personal data as described in this Agreement and any other Performance Unit award materials by and among, as applicable, the Company or Subsidiaries for the exclusive purpose of implementing, administering and managing Participant’s participation in the Plan.

Participant understands that the Company or Subsidiary may hold certain personal information about Participant, including, but not limited to, Participant’s name, home address and telephone number, date of birth, social security number or other identification number, salary, nationality, job title, any Shares of or directorships in the Company that are held, details of all Performance Units or any other entitlement to Shares awarded, canceled, exercised, vested, unvested or outstanding in Participant’s favor, for the exclusive purpose of implementing, administering and managing the Plan (“Data”).

Participant understands that Data will be transferred to the Company’s broker, or such other stock plan service provider as may be selected by the Company in the future, which is assisting the Company with the implementation, administration and management of the Plan. Participant understands that the recipients’ use of the Data may be located in the United States or elsewhere, and that the recipients’ country (e.g., the United States) may have different data privacy laws and protections than Participant’s country. Participant understands that if he or she resides outside the United States, he or she may request a list with the names and addresses of any potential recipients of the Data by contacting his or her local human resources representative. Participant authorizes the Company, the Company’s broker and any other possible recipients which may assist the Company (presently or in the future) with implementing, administering and managing the Plan to receive, possess, use, retain and transfer the Data, in electronic or other form, for the sole purpose of implementing, administering and managing the Participants’ participation in the Plan.

Further, Participant understands that he or she is providing the consents herein on a purely voluntary basis. If Participant does not consent, or if Participant later seeks to revoke his or her consent, his or her employment status or service and career with the Employer will not be adversely affected; the only adverse consequence of refusing or withdrawing Participant's consent is that the Company would not be able to grant Performance Units or other equity awards or administer or maintain such awards. Therefore, Participant understands that refusing or withdrawing his or her consent may affect Participant’s ability to participate in the Plan. For more information on the consequences of Participant’s refusal to consent or withdrawal of consent, Participant understands that he or she may contact his or her local human resources representative.

5.9Amendments. This Agreement can be amended at any time by the Committee.

5.10Severability. The provisions of this Agreement are severable and if any one or more provisions are determined to be illegal or otherwise unenforceable, in whole or in part, the remaining provisions shall nevertheless be binding and enforceable.

5.11Electronic Delivery. The Company may, in its sole discretion, decide to deliver any documents related to the Performance Units by electronic means. By accepting this Award of Performance Units, the Participant hereby consents to receive such documents by electronic delivery and agrees to participate in the Plan through an on-line or electronic system established and maintained by the Company or a third party designated by the Company.

5.12Appendix to Agreement. Notwithstanding any provisions of this Agreement to the contrary, the Performance Units shall be subject to such special terms and conditions for the Participant's country of residence (and country of employment, if different), as are set forth in the appendix to this Agreement (the “Appendix”). Further, if the Participant transfers residency and/or employment to another country, any special terms and conditions for such country will apply to the Performance Units to the extent the Company determines, in its sole discretion, that the application of such terms and conditions is necessary or advisable in order to comply with local law or to facilitate the operation and administration of the Performance Units and the Plan (or the Company may establish alternative terms and conditions as may be necessary or advisable to accommodate a transfer). In all circumstances, the Appendix shall constitute part of this Agreement.

Date of Grant: XXXX

5.13Headings. Headings are given to the Articles of this Agreement solely as a convenience to facilitate reference. Such headings shall not be deemed in any way material or relevant to the construction or interpretation of this Agreement or any provision hereof.

Exhibit A

PERFORMANCE PERIOD MILESTONES

The XXXX target Performance Units may convert into Shares based upon Shares achieving and maintaining a Milestone VWAP for any period of ninety (90) consecutive calendar days during the Performance Period as follows:

Achievement and Maintenance of Threshold VWAP = XXXX Shares

Achievement and Maintenance of Target VWAP = XXXX Shares

Achievement and Maintenance of Maximum VWAP = XXXX Shares

If Threshold VWAP has been exceeded during the Performance Period, the number of Shares earned shall be determined with straight line pro ration between each of the Milestones. The VWAP for a period of ninety (90) consecutive calendar days during the Performance Period is determined by taking the sum of the VWAPs for each trading day occurring during that ninety (90) consecutive calendar-day period, and dividing that sum by the number of trading days that occurred within those ninety (90) calendar days. All ninety (90) consecutive calendar days must be within the Performance Period.

If the Company transfers for value any subsidiary, other business unit or all or substantially all of the assets of a subsidiary or business unit, the gross revenues of which subsidiary or business unit equal or exceed 10% of the Company’s consolidated gross revenues (as calculated based on the prior fiscal year’s reported financials), the Committee will equitably adjust the Original Price for purposes of determining the Milestones to preserve (but not increase) the level of incentives provided by the Performance Unit Award.

The payment of Shares earned shall be made in the form of Shares (or cash, or a combination of Shares and cash, as decided by the Committee in its sole discretion), and shall be paid to Participant after the determination and certification by the Committee of the level of attainment of performance objectives. Except as may be provided under Section 2.4, payment will be no earlier than the end of the Performance Period (XXXX), but in any event no later than two and one-half (2½) months after the end of the Performance Period (unless the date of payment is deferred by Participant pursuant to, and in compliance with, the terms of the Company’s Voluntary Deferred Compensation Plan).

If Participant provides written notice (“Notice”) to the Board and the Secretary of the Company that he is resigning in 90 days because the Company materially breached the Letter Agreement (the “Cure Period”), and the Company does not have Cause to terminate Participant’s employment, and the Notice provides enough detail that the Company is able to identify and cure the breach, but does not substantially cure the breach in the Cure Period, then Participant’s resignation on or within the sixty (60) days immediately following the Cure Period shall be deemed a termination without Cause.

Date of Grant: XXXX

If, during the Performance Period, Participant’s employment is terminated without Cause, then, within thirty (30) days of Participant’s signing and not revoking a general release in a form acceptable to the Company (a “Release”), if Participant attained a Milestone, Participant will receive a number of Shares equal to the number of Shares that the Performance Units would have converted into at the end of the Performance Period had employment continued until the end of the Performance Period.
